In the Name of Allah,
                              The All-Merciful and Most Merciful




                           The Qur’an: A Manifestation of

                                       Allah’s Mercy


                      The Qur’an is Allah’s generous gift to humanity, a great
                 manifestation of His name the All Merciful, Most Merciful. The
                 Qur’an is the main source from which people will learn about

                 the true religion. The Qur’an is the word of Allah, Who created
                 the universe from nothing, has perfect knowledge of every-
                 thing, and has infinite mercy. The Qur’an is a blessing from our
                 Lord:
                      … a revelation from the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful, a
                      Book whose verses have been explained in detail, for peo-
                      ple who know, as a Qur’an in Arabic. (Surah Fussilat, 2-3)

                      We have sent down the Book to you so that you can make
                      clear to them those things about which they differ, and as a
                      guidance and a mercy to believers. (Surat an-Nahl, 64)

                      On that Day, We will raise up among every community a
                      witness against them from among themselves and bring
                      you as a witness against them. We have sent down the Book
                      to you, making all things clear and as guidance and mercy
                      and good news for the Muslims. (Surat an-Nahl, 89)

                      We have brought them a Book elucidating everything with
                      knowledge, as guidance and a mercy for believers. (Surat
                      al-A’raf, 52)

                      Allah, in a great manifestation of His mercy, sent down
                 books to teach people, explain His decrees, and reveal Himself
                 to them. Through His own words and wisdom, He showed
                 them what they did not know. When these holy books were
                 corrupted, He sent new messengers and revealed that the
